COVID-19 Vaccination

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised an Autumn COVID-19 booster vaccination programme which focuses on offering vaccination to those most likely to directly benefit from vaccination, particularly those with underlying health conditions that increase their risk of hospitalisation following infection.

The primary aim of the national COVID-19 vaccination programme remains the prevention of severe illness (hospitalisations and deaths) arising from COVID-19

The COVID-19 Autumn Booster programme in Powys will run between 1 October 2024 and 31 March 2025. Clinics will take place from our main vaccination centres in Newtown and Bronllys, as well as in community hospitals across Powys and some community venues.

• People aged 6 months to 64 years with a long-term health condition
• Pregnant women

• Residents in a care home for older adults  

• People aged 65 years and older (age on 31 March 2025)  

• Unpaid carers  

• Frontline health and social care workers  

• Staff working in care homes for older adults  

The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination for eligible groups started in October 2024. 

All eligible people will be invited by letter to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations at their nearest community vaccination clinic or will be contacted by their GP to offer an appointment at the practice.
